The 13th Assam Legislative Assembly election was held in two phases on 4 and 11 April 2011 to elect members from 126 constituencies in Assam, India. The result was announced on 13 May. ^[1]

Bharatiya Janata Party was accused of turning the anti-immigrant feeling in Assam into a communal row but still failed miserably. ^[2] The election resulted in a landslide victory for the Indian National Congress, which swept the election, and its incumbent Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi was sworn in for the third straight term. ^[3] AIUDF emerged as a key opposition party and won 18 of 126 seats. Tarun Gogoi became the second Chief Minister of Assam (the first was Bimala Prasad Chaliha) to be elected Chief Minister for a third consecutive term and formed his third ministry.
